December 4th, on Barbromesse, Santa Barbara Day, I cut a twig from the plumtree and took it indoors to let it grow in lukewarm water. It was supposed to bloom on Christmas Day.
I suppose our Nordic winter is too dark and cold, as very little has happened to the twig yet.
My Barbara twigs always bloom a little before Christmas, as they do not need so much time. This year I had forsythias. I cut another just before Christmas and it was blooming when we returned home from our holidays in the mountains. Now I have a bit of Spring in my guestroom :-) ! Barbara
I live in Trondheim, Norway with my husband and two daughters. Two boys have moved out to create their own homes. I work full time, and have alot of interests, but there is hardly a day when you don't find me in the kitchen, playing with old and new recipes. And if I am not to be find it the kitchen, take a look in The Blue Garden. I am a member of the Slow Food movement and a supporter of the Slower Life. You can contact me at: knitwoman1958@yahoo.com
